As Iran’s regime faces unprecedented internal revolt, the Middle East may be approaching a historic turning point. In this episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, Rabbi Pesach Wolicki and Pastor Doug Reed are joined by foreign policy expert Dr. David Wurmser to examine what is truly at stake — not only for Israel and Iran, but for Western civilization itself. From the legacy of the 1979 Iranian Revolution to the ideological roots of Islamism, from Gaza and Syria to the rise of Sunni radicalism, this wide-ranging conversation explores why material incentives fail in the Middle East, why ideas matter more than economics, and why the coming struggle may determine the future alignment of the world.
